Crossroads of Texas GO TEXAN Country Festival

GO TEXAN Takes the Spotlight at Texas’s Largest One-Day Festival

We’re proud to announce that the Texas Department of Agriculture’s GO TEXAN program, led by Commissioner Sid Miller, is now the lead sponsor of the 2025 Crossroads of Texas GO TEXAN Country Festival!

For more than 25 years, Waxahachie has hosted this iconic event, and it has grown into the largest one-day festival in the Lone Star State. With the GO TEXAN brand now front and center, this year’s celebration is set to be bigger, better, and even more Texan than ever before.

“With the GO TEXAN program on board, we’re going to showcase this vibrant festival to an even bigger audience,” said Commissioner Miller. “Let’s celebrate Texas the GO TEXAN way!”

MADE IN TEXAS: Texas-Made Art, Crafts, and Culinary Favorites

Over 200 booths will fill the historic courthouse square, transforming downtown Waxahachie into a vibrant showcase of GO TEXAN-certified vendors, Texas artisans, and small businesses. From handcrafted goods to bold, flavorful dishes, every product and experience reflects the pride and creativity of Texans. As part of the expanded GO TEXAN Experience, festivalgoers can sample and shop from a curated collection of homegrown excellence — including selections from the Uncork Texas Wines program and fresh, wild-caught offerings from the Texas Gulf Shrimp initiative.

Whether you're tasting, toasting, shopping, or strolling, the entire festival celebrates what it means to GO TEXAN — supporting local producers, honoring Texas traditions, and connecting communities through the things that make our state one of a kind.

PLAYED IN TEXAS: Texas Music on Every Corner

In addition to the Main Stage, Texas music takes center stage with performances across 10+ downtown stages, including:

• Restaurants, wine bars, and breweries featuring intimate live sets
• The Grown Local Stage, spotlighting Ellis County’s best homegrown musicians
• CBS Texas Music Lounge at the historic Texas Theater.
